Melissa's

Today is holiday here - Heritage Day. I still haven't quite figured out the meaning, but I do know that it's also known as 'Braai Day' - translated Barbecue Day. So there's a lot of meat being cooked over fires with plenty of beer to help the process.

I on the other hand, have been attending to my blog inbetween doing a bit of gardening. Spring is nearly here and the lovely green buds on the trees are out as are some of my spring flowers. Beautiful. So, no painting today, but I did paint yesterday. And this painting is of one of the waitresses at a coffee shop called Melissa's here in Cape Town. This scored highly at the judging, so I'm quite proud of that! And thanks so much for always visiting my very under utilised blog!

This painting is amazing, Liz. I love the shadows and skin tones on her face. The reflections in the glass jars of this waitress and the writings are perfectly painted...What can I say...its so nice to have you back!!!!!

I really liked this part of the article... with a nice and interesting topics have helped a lot of people who do not challenge things people should know... You need more publicize this so many people who know about it are rare for people to know this. Success for you...!!!

About Me

Although I have been blogging since 2008, I am still not good with computer technology.
As a result, my blog sometimes gets a bit neglected - for that I apologise.
Having left the business world behind in 2000, my life has become immersed in the artworld. I belong to various societies here in Cape Town and they keep me active. I also now teach twice a week and love the progress made by my students. Lucky me, my classes are full at the moment.
I do hope all the friends I've made over the years still keep in touch. You have all been so inspirational in this part of my journey. Thank you.
